I'm having a little trouble getting a child table in the Dataverse to link to the Parent record. When submitting a form in PowerApps, what would be the way to go about linking the child to the parent record?

Thank You @dpoggemann.
My issue now lies with getting the autonumber from the created Parent entity.

Hi @duncant,

What do you mean on this question, sorry, don't understand... You will have the GUID on the child entity as a lookup to the parent, not the autonumber field of the parent n the child.

Am I misunderstanding your question?

Thanks,

Drew

@dpoggemann correct. I will have a GUID for the child record(s), but I will not have the Parent GUID. I guess my question is how do I get the Parent records GUID?

I am looking to do the same thing and I keep seeing this link. But you are creating a new parent record and then getting the GUID using the 'lastsubmitted'. For me the parent record I am trying to link to is not the last submitted. It is just the currently selected record on the parent editform on the screen,
